Re: Probability of winning 9 straight coinflips
It's also possible the OP meant he was a 55-45 favorite on each hand. In that case, it was just 1/217 or so that this would happen. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Probability of winning 9 straight coinflips
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I assume you meant your odds of winning were 45% on each hand. The odds of it happening are 1322-1. The odds of it happening to you are 100% [/ QUOTE ] Small correction to the second statement: there are no such odds that say that you are the exception and that you have no chance of being the 1 in 1322. [/ QUOTE ] You missed the point--- It already happened to him---hence, 100%
